Sharing condolences (ta'ziyah) with the bereaved

Submitted by admin on Fri, 2015-04-24 08:05

Q: A close family member of a person passes away. What is the sunnah way of consoling the person?

A: The sunnah method of sharing condolences with the bereaved is to make dua for them and the deceased. You may sympathize with them by saying, "May Allah Ta'ala assist you and bless you with sabr (patience) and forgive the marhoom (deceased) and bless him with the highest stages of Jannah".

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن عبد الله، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: من عزى مصابا فله مثل أجره (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 1073)

ويستحب أن يقال لصاحب التعزية غفر الله تعالى لميتك وتجاوز عنه وتغمده برحمته ورزقك الصبر على مصيبته وآجرك على موته كذا في المضمرات ناقلا عن الحجة (الفتاوى الهندية 1/ 167)

ويقول في تعزية المسلم أعظم الله أجرك وأحسن عزاءك ورحم ميتك وأكثر عددك (البحر الرائق 8/ 232)

في شرح المنية وتستحب التعزية للرجال والنساء اللاتي لا يفتن لقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام من عزى أخاه بمصيبة كساه الله من حلل الكرامة يوم القيامة رواه ابن ماجه وقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام من عزى مصابا فله مثل أجره رواه الترمذي وابن ماجه والتعزية أن يقول أعظم الله أجرك وأحسن عزاءك وغفر لميتك (رد المحتار 2/ 240)
